"And ......," the eldest princess leaned over and whispered in Xuanyuan Luo's ear, "you...... Really, didn't you have a heart for her? ”

His body froze suddenly, the afterglow of the setting sun revealed with the swaying car window, half of his face was bright and half of his face was dark, and a small face with soft flesh revealed the maturity and vicissitudes of his age. It was tempered on the verge of rebirth and death again and again.

His thin finger bones turned white, and the eldest princess saw him open his mouth, thinking that he wanted to say something, but only sighed, and then turned his head and closed his eyes again to rest.

She understood that this was what Xuanyuan Luo had just said.

That's right, too! The daughter of a family, beautiful in appearance, does not seek wealth or power, and loves you with all her heart.

Such a woman may not be in deep love, but that man can't be moved, let alone Xuanyuan Luo, who has never been loved by a woman?

The carriage traveled all the way back to the capital before the curfew. Xuanyuan Luo's spirit was not good, the eldest princess troubled the second prince Xuanyuan Hao to send the Xia family sisters home, and then took Xuanyuan Luo straight to the palace, planning to call the imperial doctor to check his pulse, so as not to worsen his condition.

It was hard to grow some flesh on this face, and when the time came, it would be gone.

Xuanyuan Luo looked at the brightly lit behemoth palace in the distance for two seconds, and then ordered, "Go to the Li Mansion." ”

The eldest princess frowned, "Is there anything you have to go now?" After running for a day today, let's go back to the palace and let the imperial doctor take a look! ”

Xuanyuan Luo looked out of the window seriously, a group of children with sugar gourds were running outside the carriage, noisy, so that he couldn't help but hook the corners of his mouth, "No need, I'm going to find my uncle today." ”

"But......" The eldest princess wanted to say something, but looking at the smile on the corner of Xuanyuan Luo's mouth, she suddenly changed her words: "Okay! But tomorrow you must call Imperial Doctor Wang to show you, in short, be careful. ”

Xuanyuan Luo knew that the eldest princess was worried about his body, so he nodded obediently.

The carriage stopped in front of the Li Mansion, and soon one person went to tell the master inside, and the other person courteously led Xuanyuan Luo to the hall.

Li Mansion is the mansion of Xuanyuan Luo's uncle Li Zongru, the Li family has been generals for generations, holding military power, and this generation is no exception. It can be described as a monstrous power.

It's a pity that Xuanyuan Luo's health is not good, otherwise he is probably the most likely candidate to overthrow the crown prince and ascend the throne as emperor.

When Li Zongru learned that his nephew had come at this point, he knew that he might need his help with something, so he personally took the people to the study, drove the servants out, and left the two of them alone.

Seeing this, Xuanyuan Luo directly opened the door and said, "Uncle, I want you to help me find out how Xia Yao and the third brother of the Xia family met." ”

Li Zongru is almost forty years old today, his skin has experienced a long period of wind and rain, his body is strong, his eyes are bright, and his name does not match his name at all.

He had heard Xia Yao's name from many places recently, and heard that she had rejected the personable Third Highness, and instead boldly confessed to her own nephew who still looked like a child with little arms and legs.

Li Zongru's heart turned a thousand times, but his face did not leak, and he responded to Xuanyuan Luo's request with a smile, "Please rest assured, Your Highness Five, the minister will definitely handle this matter well." ”

Xuanyuan Luo looked at Li Zongru, who was saluting him, and avoided it slightly, "We are a family, why should my uncle be so outside." ”

Xuanyuan Luo's mother is Li Zongru's sister-in-law, but unfortunately she went early, so Li Zongru is particularly protective of the son born to this sister.

Li Zongru had a righteous face, "Etiquette cannot be abolished." ”

This has happened too many times, and Xuanyuan Luo didn't want to say more, so he said, "It's too late today, so I stayed at my uncle's house." ”

Xuanyuan Luo really didn't want to move anymore today, so he just stayed here.

"The minister immediately called someone to clean the guest room." That's it! Li Zongru smiled again and said, "I don't know if Your Highness has had dinner?" If you don't mind, how about being with your ministers? ”

After his reminder, Xuanyuan Luo felt that his stomach was aching faintly, and the snacks he ate at noon had already been digested after an hour's journey. But when he thought that his diet was always those bland, vegetarian food, he felt that he had no appetite.

Li Zongru saw his hesitation, and added in a low voice, "There is roast duck at home today." ”

Xuanyuan Luo's eyes suddenly lit up, and for the sake of face, he had to nod reservedly.

Seeing this, Li Zongru added lightly: "But Your Highness can only eat one leg, the imperial doctor has said, your body can't eat meat." ”

Xuanyuan Luo: ".................." is so tired.

At the same time, at Xia's house, Xia Yao rarely went to the table to eat with Xia's father and Xia's mother.

Adhering to the rule of eating without saying a word, Xia Yao obediently chewed and swallowed slowly, never saying a word of nonsense.

After eating, Father Xia finally took the initiative to stop Xia Yao, "Yao'er, wait a minute, Daddy has something to say to you." ”

'Here', Xia Yao thought silently in her heart, with a well-behaved and sensible look on her face, "Daddy, please speak." ”

Seeing Xia Yao's appearance, Xia Junhong felt very useful, and his face softened a little, "Daddy doesn't want to say much about you and the Fifth Highness." ”

Speaking of this, he made a worried look, "In short, you insist on this, and Daddy has to respect your opinion." But......" he said, "the body of the Fifth Highness, alas! Xia Li is your sister, usually go out with her more, our family is good, you can be good in the future, right? ”

Although Xia Junhong is already a third-grade official, this position is neither high nor low, and he has a lot of oil and water, but he can't cover up the foundation of their family, which is not as good as those big families. It is precisely because of this that Xia Junhong married Xia Yao's mother Lin as his wife, even if she was just an unfavored concubine of the Lin family, not to catch up with the Lin family.

Now that Xia Yao has caught up with Xuanyuan Luo, no matter what his body is? With his maternal clan and the favor of the saint, as long as he is in one day, everyone will give the Xia family some more thin noodles.

Banquets that were previously unqualified are now invited.

Therefore, Xia Junhong wanted to take this opportunity to take the Xia family to the next level, such as ...... Marry the eldest daughter to another powerful prince.

How could Xia Yao not know Xia Junhong's thoughts, didn't she just want to squeeze the last bit of interest on her? But she lives in the Xia family now, so she can only swallow her anger.

Seeing this, Xia Junhong let her go down with satisfaction, and her stepmother watched her slowly retreat with a benevolent smile in her eyes, while Xia Li's face was full of disdain.

It's really a variety of life, and each one is different.

As soon as she came out of the living room and came to a secluded place, Lu'er raised her little fist angrily, "Miss! Do you really want to help the eldest lady? ”

Xia Yao stretched out her hand and touched Lu'er's head, and said with a smile: "When did I agree." ”

Lu'er was a confused person, tilting her head, looking cute, "Didn't you just say- got it?" ”

Xia Yao strode forward, the bright moonlight shone on her body, draping a layer of veil for her, the breeze blew the corners of her clothes, and matched the beautiful little face, just like the goddess of the Nine Heavens descending to earth. sacrosanct," so - what do I know? ”

Lu'er was stunned for a moment, then covered her mouth and began to snicker, "Miss...... Ha ha...... You're so smart! ”

Xia Yao smiled and said nothing, as the saying goes, there are policies and countermeasures. Xia (silly) Ji (white) Zhi (sweet) said that so many years of palace fighting dramas are not in vain.

The next few days have been calm, Xia Yao didn't bother to think too much, and stayed in her small yard to eat and drink.

Later, Lu'er couldn't see her young lady ruining her life so much, and she was forced to pull her out for a walk. After Xia Yao came to the small garden half-pushed, she stayed in the pavilion and refused to get up.

Lu'er pursed her lips and didn't say anything more.

The temperature in summer is extremely high, and even the flowers in the yard are full of flowers, not to mention Xia Yao, who has always been accustomed to air-conditioned houses? She closed her eyes, and a large string of sweat was left on her forehead, "Okay Lu'er, you go and bring me a bowl of shaved ice." ”

In ancient times, shaved ice was made by combining ice cubes with chopped fruits, and the taste was average, but it was better than nothing.

"Great!" Lu'er answered, and walked to the big kitchen.

If it was Xia Yao in the past, in today's era when ice cubes are scarce, there are such good things to eat.

Xia Yao waited quietly for two minutes, and then saw Lu'er holding a delicate small bowl and walking slowly over with small steps of broken flowers, and carefully put it on the table.

"So that's all there is to it?" Xia Yao gently scooped it with a spoon, and the crystal crushed ice cubes and small pieces of watermelon in it were put together, which was very cute.

Lu'er made a bitter face and bit her lower lip lightly, "When I went, this was the last bowl, and I heard that they were all called away by the eldest lady." ”

Xia Yao nodded lightly when she heard this, indicating that she understood. The hot wind was blowing, and the sweet and juicy watermelon slices were bitten in the mouth, and the crushed ice cubes creaked with the watermelon being bitten, and all the heat seemed to be soothed by that bite.

Xia Yao's eyes narrowed with happiness. This world, as it is, is only food and beauty.

On the other side -

Living in a gorgeous and exquisite small courtyard, Xia Li is furious......

"How dare she take my stuff?" Xia Li waved hard, and threw the blue and white porcelain next to him to the ground, and the flowers inside

The little maid lowered her head lower, and her whole body trembled, "When the slave maid went, the second lady's maid had already held the shaved ice in her hand. ”

Xia Yao kicked the little maid's body, "Then you won't grab it?" ”
